Anyone know if a 5-gal. '00-'04 Softail fuel tank (#62180-00) will fit on the FXR frame? I already know certain Road King and Electra Glide tanks will fit with very little mods. But interested in the FXLR look - with gauges on the handlebars, and that "smooth tank" style. Looks as if the '00-'04 tank could achieve that style with very little modification, if it fits to the frame.
My FXR have a FXDWG 96 , 5 Gal tank, the rear flat tab welded , front the WG stock hole, worked fine.

Yes, but doesn't the FXDWG tank have a cut-out at the top part of the tank for a dash-console? I prefer a smooth-looking tank style with no dash-console, see FXLR tank, which is the reason for asking about the '00-'04 Softail model tank. Looks like there would be very minimal mods to achieve that style, i.e., welding a rear tab and maybe fabricating a front mounting hole. Not sure though if the spine cut-out is wide enough for it to fit on an FXR frame. :nix: :scratch:

PM me some pics of the set-up, if you can. Thanks.
